Well that did take around 500,000 people and cost many billions of dollars.
Maybe if we hadn't landed on the moon it would be easier to explain away Quins crowd troubles. Now everything is compared to that one accomplishment. I can't believe they could land a man on the moon. I think we all would have been a lot happier if they hadn't landed a man on the moon. Then we'd go, They can't make a prescription bottle top that's easy to open? I'm not surprised they couldn't land a man on the moon. Things make perfect sense to me now. Neil Armstrong should have said, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for every, complaining, sob on the face of the earth. "

We'd just use another accomplishment. There are plenty to pick from.

Without wanting to on your parade, "Splitting the atom" occurs naturally within radioactive decay.

.......I believe that there is a culture at the club that is starting to believe that it is impossible to attract new fans to the game.......this will have come from years of doing nothing and comparing last years marketing spend against the number of new fans it attracted (56 less than 2009).
PB stated he wanted to change the culture he found at Quins RL when he arrived.....as far as I can see all he did was remove the commercial mangager who sold 1 box over a season and replaced him with a marketing person who has managed to waste money on various stupid ploys
Hard work is the key to anything working....putting in long hours, working weekends if needed, getting the volunteers back on board, leaflet drops,...all stuff that costs nothing other than a commitment to making the club work. As it is, I expect to see a massive increase in gates over the first 2 months of the 2011 season or a vacancy in the back office........that's if PB doesn't nick her first

Do you know what the real crowds were for 2010 as i know that they were nowhere near what they claimed season tickets were only around 800 and for some matches as many as 1000 were added onto the crowd figures the Dragons match being one!!!!!!!!!!
I think you are right in what you say there is a culture at the Quins of just accepting the situation for what it is the whole office needs a total clear out and they need to get some serious marketing people in i stated before there are 2 people in France who i think could do the job if anyone at the Quins had half a brain they would know who to contact!!!!!!!!!!

Why are you continually being so cryptic and addressing a forum as if it had some in to the Quins board ?

Why do you use so many exclamation marks?

I believe you are correct.....and if the newbie is referring to him then he needs his bumps looking at. I believe storminateacup was a PR professional before retirement...pr isn't what the club need

Perhaps the [size newbie[/size isn't a [size newbie[/size at all?

so...if the newbie isn't a newbie, it does beggar the question as to if he believes the answer to Quins RL's woes are in France, why hasn't he applied for the role himself?
I did, failed and have been bitter and twisted ever since...it upset me that much I had to leave the country for the far side of the world.....but at least I threw my hat in the ring.

I am more interested in the insider knowledge with regard to our apparently inflated reported attendance figures. I mean, why would DH accept a tax bill for 1,000 fans who weren't there?
Is the newbie already working at the club? Does he/she have access to the clubs books? Or is it just plain supposition?
Sorry, but gates of 2,000 are only a little worse than 3,000 and I doubt the club will tick that licence criteria box anyway so why would they bother?
